What is Sewanee?
1.
A magical place on top of a mountain were the motto is "study hard, party hard"; where everyone knows your name and you know everyone else's; a place where your Shakespeare professor can have a beer with you at the local pub; an almost utopian enviroment where college is just an added bonus and character and integrity are the take home prizes
Mayberry meets Harvard on top of a mountain (or a plateau as Sewanee folks know). "That place was so special. Those kids were so bright and they can party too! What a beautiful place, it is so Sewanee

The most amazing place on earth! A college on top of montain in Tenn. Everyone is friendly and great. Tuff school work but the parties make up for it by leaps and bounds.

Formally known as the University of the South, it is the greatest college on the planet. It is viewed negatively by those who were too stupid to get accepted.

Small college on a mountain top in Tennessee. Student body is full of rich southern old money generations who couldn't get into a real school without rules. Think they are big time ebcause they can play a psort in college and their sports suck. Most frequently spotted being totally into their fraternity or out of the park girls sorority like its the next best thing. Wear all the seersuck suits, bowties, guy harvey collections, and other outdoor apparel even though they dont know or have never been in the outdoors, polo clothes and pastels are usual favorites. Fashion top of the line cars with high price tags and generally are not that bright. Drive big trucks that they dont know how to drive talk about subjects they have no idea about. Think they are cool because they drink a lot and are part of their frats and have busted girlfriends. Girls are out of control and so are sororities. The school is not like any other on a mountain in the middle of nowhere wiht a huge cross.
"Oh there goes WIlly Law total fag frathead and athlete who thinks hes cool with a busted girlfriend and big ole truck with regular sewanee fashion clothes and not that smart and weak at his sports game. Welcome to Sewanee."

Small college on a mountain top in Tennessee. Student body is full of self-rightious southern aristocracy. One can spot a Sewanee student by shaggy hair, pastel colored Polo clothing and/or seersucker suit and bowtie. Other common accessories are Chevy Tahoe's, Suburbans, or Land Rover Discovories. Students are also easily identified by thier arrogance, ignorance of world events, and utter self-importaince. Sewanee students are often found smoking pot or drinking hard liquor, while playing Frisbee Golf or burning things.
"Ah, he must attend Sewanee... That explains the Polo clothing, Tahoe, and large amounts of expensive rock climbing and whitewater kayaking equipment he always carries around, but has never used."

A strange phenomenon where several thousand intelligent (or so we thought...) people choose to settle on top of a mountain that is equally as void of intelligence and things to do as everything within a 300 miles of it (inhabitants of such places are referred to as Sewanesians)
What do people see in this place? There's nothing here! This town is such a Sewanee...
